Abstract: Laboratories in educational institutions needs methods to determine the heat emitted from those in a simple manner. The objective of this study was to construct a practical approach based on “fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process”(FAHP) for selecting the least heat emission laboratory. In this paper 5 alternatives and 5 criteria are considered which are from the experts “Knowledge and Judgments”. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process applied for calculating relative weights of each criterion. It is the effective assessment tool for selecting the least heat emission laboratory. The analyzed results had identified the relative weight of the criteria taken in laboratory and heat emissions in different laboratories were compared. Thus the study results will provide a practical reference for the persons engaged in the work in laboratory

Keywords: Heat emission from laboratories, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, multi criteria decision making
